Please Pay $456,881 Plus Interest

That's how much two small counties in Kentucky owe the ACLU. for legal fees related to the counties posting in 1999 copies of the Ten Commandments in their courthouses. The ACLU sued relative to the separation of church and state and won in each court to which the counties appealed. The Supreme Court ruled in ACLU's favor in 2005. Still, the counties pursued their case. Having lost their most recent case, the counties, after 11 years, are finally considering ways to settle with the ACLU.
